Day 255 — Mistletoe Mingle
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!]

(OOC: Mingle until your lips are chapped! Information on mistletoe bots event.)

	My mom leaves me alone. [He's not bragging, just saying. Maybe he wouldn't be so crazy if she didn't have to work so much.] Is that why you act? 'Cause of your mom going to be actress? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She sighs when he repeats his mom leaves him alone. It sounds nice. And foreign. Sarah shrugs when he asks about her acting.]

Sometimes that's why. But I've never done a school play. Only the stuff I read about. By myself. It's never seemed necessary to do anything else. In fact, before I ended up in the Labyrinth to save my brother, I was acting out a scene from the book.

	Well... d'you think you're any good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-03 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Good? I... don't know? [She actually looks taken aback by the question. No one ever asked it of her before.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No one's seen you act? You could be really good at it and you'd never know. [It's like writing. If no one sees your work but you, what's it worth?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-04 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	Who would I show? I didn't like the plays at school and I don't have any friends back home. I just acted for my dog. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-02-04 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	You have friends here, like that Piper person. [This might be presumptuous since they only met yesterday, but Nathan goes for it:] I'm your friend, kind of. Or I could be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-04 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah looks even more surprised.] I... really? [Then she smiles shyly.] I can't remember the last time I was actually friends with a human. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-02-05 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	I don't have a lot of friends either, so... [Surely this has nothing to do with his tendency to tell people that he's a crazy person who thinks about stabbing people.] Maybe I know a little more about acting than your dog, if you need an audience or whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-05 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah looked a little shy then.] I don't know... I'm probably not really that good. [Yes, his extra-curricular activities were disconcerting. She was still working through the definition of a prostitute.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He shrugs.] I wouldn't mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-06 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Right. [Sarah looks sidelong at him to make sure this isn't a trick. He doesn't look too tricky though and finally she nods and stands.] Right. I don't have my costume, but this is what I was rehearsing before everything happened. But... it works better if you were standing... right there. [Not easy acting to nothing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-02-06 01:41 am UTC (link)
	[Nathan is nothing if not earnest. There will be no trickery here. He gets up to stand where Sarah indicates.] And I just have to stand here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-06 01:44 am UTC (link)
	You're the Goblin King. Otherwise I'm acting to a bookcase and that doesn't work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-02-06 01:58 am UTC (link)
	Okay, I'm the Goblin King. [He doesn't look much like Jareth. Or... at all. But.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You don't have to do anything but stand there. And pretend that we're at the end of the play and I've just solved all the puzzles.

[Sarah looks down for a moment as though running some lines through her head. When she loks back up finally, she's ready.]

Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great...

[She falters and tries again, sounding less sure of herself.]

For my will is as strong as yours, my kingdom as great... Damn I always forget that next line...

	[He wishes he could help, but he doesn't even know the plot.] What you remembered sounded good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-07 01:23 am UTC (link)
	No wait. I'll figure it out... just give me a second... [She stares at the floor and murmurs to herself...] My kingdom is as great... my kingdom is as great.. my kingdom is... aha! [She looks up again.] My kingdom is as great... You have no power over me! [She smiles brightly.] I knew I'd remember it! Well? What do you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-02-07 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Well... you remembered it, and it was delivered with a lot of conviction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-07 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Yes... is that good or bad? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-02-07 02:03 am UTC (link)
	Good! You said it like you meant it, so it was believable. That's what you want when you act, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-07 02:08 am UTC (link)
	It is! Or I think so. Usually it's just the post or my dog that sees me, and they seem fine by whatever I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-02-07 02:20 am UTC (link)
	I hope I'm as good at watching you act as your dog is. Hey, um... should I go? Since you're not supposed to be around me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2014-02-07 02:27 am UTC (link)
	No you're good. You can at least tell me how things are. [Her face falls at his question.] You don't have to. I mean, no one needs to know we're talking right? Unless.. unless one of those things comes back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-02-07 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, it's just that I don't want you to get in trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
